!ALIGN SAW BLADE WITH
TABLE GROOVES- Using ele-
vation hand wheel (A, fig. 2),
set saw blade for deepest cut.
Make pencil mark on tooth that
is just above table top at front of
blade. Measure distance from this
tooth point to right-hand table
groove (L, fig. 1). Rotate blade by hand to place this
same tooth just above table top at rear then again
g measure distance from tooth point to right-hand groove.
The two measurements must be exactly equal. If not,
loosen the three screws (part S-860, fig. 4) in each trun-
nion which secure the table trunnion (part 13, fig. 4) to
the table. Shift the two trunnions until the two measure-
ments are equal, then retighten the screws. Again check
measurement.
_our INSTALL RIP FENCE- Secure the rack (J, fig. 1) to
examine it carefully for loose rack parallel with the top of table. Pull the rip fence knob
(G, fig 1) out to pera_it the guide of the rip fence (F,
fig. 1)to slide over rack (J, fig. 1 ) then place the. rip
fence on the saw table as shown in figure 2. A shght
pressure must be exerted on the rip fence to cause it to

moving the motor support assembly towards or away from
the cradle. Motor should be allowed to rest or hang
against the belt to obtain the automatic belt tightening
feature- and belt should be snug. If adjustment is cor-
rect, clamp the motor support in place by tightening the
two square head set screws (part S-1267, fig. 4).
ADJUSTING MOTOR MOUNT TENSION, Tension
is adjusted by tightening the nut (part S-1215, fig. 4)
against the steel washer (part S-1261) and the spring
washer (part 6423). Nut should be tightened just enough
to reduce motor vibration when saw is operating. Do
NOT tighten nut to alocked position, or the stud will be
sheared off when blade is raised or lowered. A sliding
action is necessary because mount changes position as
blade is raised or lowered. Operate the saw by hand to
make certain that the belt has proper tension and that
mount changes position as it should.
If saw is to be driven by a large frame motor that cannot
be mounted on the motor support assembly, mount the
motor on motor rails. Use a 1/2-inch wide belt with a
minimum length of 80 inches. Adjust the position of the
motor until belt clears all obstructions through all po-
sitions of the saw blade.
If saw is to be driven from a line shaft, use abelt at least
100 inches long.
PLACEMENT OF MITER GAGE- The miter gage as-
sembly (K, fig. 1) can be used in either one of the two
table grooves.
This saw is designed to be used with a3450 rpm motor.
Motor should be 3/4 hp (for light duty) or one hp (for
heavy duty)- in either an AC motor of arepulsion-
induction or capacitor type, or a compound-wound DC.
The motor shaft center siaould be approximately 4inches
above the bottom of the motor base. If this dimension
varies appreciably from 4inches, it may be necessary to
obtain abelt of adifferent length. If a 1750 rpm motor
with a 4-5/8-inch shaft center height is used, a 5-inch
motor pulley and a 46-inch belt must be purchased. If
the motor shaft center height varies greater or smaller
than the above dimension, a correspondingly greater or
smaller belt length should be used. _hese may be ordered
through any Sears Retail Store or Mail Order House.

(C). If the angle of cut (tilt) must be extremely_
accurate, the angle of the saw blade should be
checked with a protractor or with a board which is
known to be cut at the exact angle required.
RIP FENCE (E) -- is operated by pushing in the FENCE
KNOB (F) so that it engages apinion gear with
the teeth on RACK (H). Turning the knob (F),
after pushing it in, will cause the rip fence to move
accurately across the table. When the knob (F) is
pulled out to disengage pinion gear, the rip fence
can be moved across the table by hand. Keep the
saw table and rip fence clean. Dirt may prevent the
rip fence from obtaining proper alignment. Tapping
the fence lightly to assist the mechanism to find its
natural position, will help to maintain alignment of
the fence with the blade.
CAM CLAMP LEVER (G)m is used to clamp the rip
fence in place after it has been moved to the position
desired.

RiPPiNG
Ripping is the sawing of wood with the grain. It is
generally done with the help of afence as a guide to
position and maintain the work at the correct width for
the cut. Because the work is pushed along the fence, it
must have areasonably straight edge to make sliding con-
tact with the fence. Also, work must make solid contact
with the table, so that it will not wobble. Provide a
straight edge, even if this means temporary nailing of an
auxiliary straight edge board to the work. If workpiece
is warped, turn the hollow side down.
Use of the saw guard is recommended; and the splitter
should always be used in ripping operations. Wood cut
with the grain tends to spring the kerr closed and bind
the blade. If for any reason, splitter is not used, stop and
insert a wedge in the kerf just as soon as cut has passed
back of blade.
Set fence to desired width of cut, either by using the
scale on the fence guide bar, or by measuring the distance
between blade and fence. Fence is almost always used
on right-hand side of blade. Stand a little to the right
of center to avoid being sprayed with sawdust and to be
clear of work in case of a kickback. Start saw and ad-
vance work, using left hand to hold it down and right
hand to push it forward. AS cut nears completion, move
left hand to safe distance from blade, and push work
through with right hand alone. Never reach in back of
blade with either hand to hold work down.
When there is less than the
RESAWmNG
Resawing is the cutting of thick
boards into thinner ones. It is
a ripping operation. Small boards
up to 3_8-inch maximum width
--can be resawed in one pass;
but !arger boards up to 6l/_-inch
maximum require two passes, one
pass along each edge of the board.
When two cuts from opposite
edges are required, these should RHT
be made to overlap 1/2 inch from the approximate center
of the board. If the first cut is too deep, the kerr will
close and bind the saw on the second cut, with danger of
kickback. Also, when the kerr closes, the two sides of
the cut are no longer parallel to the saw blade, and the
saw will cut into them to spoil their appearance. Keep
same face of board against fence when making both cuts.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscutting is the sawing of wood across r_ie grain.
Planks are milled with the grain running the length of
the plank. In crosscutting the long edge of the work is
placed across the table top. Therefore. the miter gage is
used as a guide instead of the fence. Most operators pre-
fer to use the left-hand table groove. In this case, the
left hand is used to hold the work in contact with the
gage and to push work and gage toward the blade. The
right hand is free to assist, as required. If right-hand
groove is used, hand positions are reversed.
Ordinarily the gage is placed in the table groove with the
bar in front. When work is so wide that it completely

chippers cannot.
A dado insert (part 9-2212, fig. 4) must be used to re-
place the standard table insert. Whenever two or more
chippers are used, stagger the swaged ends as evenly as
possible around the circumference. Fractional adjust-
ments in thickness of the head can be made by using
paper washers between the outside blades and chippers.
Dado head operations are much
the same as those with a standard
blade _ but the dado head takes
a bigger bite, so that workpiece
should be held more firmly. It is
good practice to use a hold-down
jig like the one illustrated.
When a groove wider than the _-
dado head is needed, make two
or more passes. Best method is
to use a notched stop block to po-
sition each successive cut. Block
is fastened to edge of table where
it can be used to position work
before starting the cut; but in such a position that it will
not contact work during the cutting operation. Space
cuts so that they overlap a trifle.

feature- and belt should be snug. If adjustment is cor-
rect, clamp the motor support in place by tightening the
two square head set screws (part S-1267, fig. 4).
ADJUSTING MOTOR MOUNT TENSION, Tension
is adjusted by tightening the nut (part S-1215, fig. 4)
against the steel washer (part S-1261) and the spring
washer (part 6423). Nut should be tightened just enough
to reduce motor vibration when saw is operating. Do
NOT tighten nut to alocked position, or the stud will be

blade is raised or lowered. Operate the saw by hand to
make certain that the belt has proper tension and that
mount changes position as it should.
If saw is to be driven by a large frame motor that cannot
be mounted on the motor support assembly, mount the
motor on motor rails. Use a 1/2-inch wide belt with a
minimum length of 80 inches. Adjust the position of the
motor until belt clears all obstructions through all po-
sitions of the saw blade.
If saw is to be driven from a line shaft, use abelt at least
100 inches long.
PLACEMENT OF MITER GAGE- The miter gage as-
sembly (K, fig. 1) can be used in either one of the two
table grooves.
This saw is designed to be used with a3450 rpm motor.
Motor should be 3/4 hp (for light duty) or one hp (for
heavy duty)- in either an AC motor of arepulsion-
induction or capacitor type, or a compound-wound DC.
The motor shaft center siaould be approximately 4inches
above the bottom of the motor base. If this dimension
varies appreciably from 4inches, it may be necessary to
obtain abelt of adifferent length. If a 1750 rpm motor
with a 4-5/8-inch shaft center height is used, a 5-inch
motor pulley and a 46-inch belt must be purchased. If
the motor shaft center height varies greater or smaller
than the above dimension, a correspondingly greater or
smaller belt length should be used. _hese may be ordered
through any Sears Retail Store or Mail Order House.

RiPPiNG
Ripping is the sawing of wood with the grain. It is
generally done with the help of afence as a guide to
position and maintain the work at the correct width for
the cut. Because the work is pushed along the fence, it
must have areasonably straight edge to make sliding con-
tact with the fence. Also, work must make solid contact
with the table, so that it will not wobble. Provide a
straight edge, even if this means temporary nailing of an
auxiliary straight edge board to the work. If workpiece
is warped, turn the hollow side down.
Use of the saw guard is recommended; and the splitter
should always be used in ripping operations. Wood cut
with the grain tends to spring the kerr closed and bind
the blade. If for any reason, splitter is not used, stop and
insert a wedge in the kerf just as soon as cut has passed
back of blade.
Set fence to desired width of cut, either by using the
scale on the fence guide bar, or by measuring the distance
between blade and fence. Fence is almost always used
on right-hand side of blade. Stand a little to the right
of center to avoid being sprayed with sawdust and to be
clear of work in case of a kickback. Start saw and ad-
vance work, using left hand to hold it down and right
hand to push it forward. AS cut nears completion, move
left hand to safe distance from blade, and push work
through with right hand alone. Never reach in back of
blade with either hand to hold work down.

RESAWmNG
Resawing is the cutting of thick
boards into thinner ones. It is
a ripping operation. Small boards
up to 3_8-inch maximum width
--can be resawed in one pass;
but !arger boards up to 6l/_-inch
maximum require two passes, one
pass along each edge of the board.
When two cuts from opposite
edges are required, these should RHT
be made to overlap 1/2 inch from the approximate center
of the board. If the first cut is too deep, the kerr will
close and bind the saw on the second cut, with danger of
kickback. Also, when the kerr closes, the two sides of
the cut are no longer parallel to the saw blade, and the
saw will cut into them to spoil their appearance. Keep
same face of board against fence when making both cuts.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscutting is the sawing of wood across r_ie grain.
Planks are milled with the grain running the length of
the plank. In crosscutting the long edge of the work is
placed across the table top. Therefore. the miter gage is
used as a guide instead of the fence. Most operators pre-
fer to use the left-hand table groove. In this case, the
left hand is used to hold the work in contact with the
gage and to push work and gage toward the blade. The
right hand is free to assist, as required. If right-hand
groove is used, hand positions are reversed.
Ordinarily the gage is placed in the table groove with the
bar in front. When work is so wide that it completely

chippers cannot.
A dado insert (part 9-2212, fig. 4) must be used to re-
place the standard table insert. Whenever two or more
chippers are used, stagger the swaged ends as evenly as
possible around the circumference. Fractional adjust-
ments in thickness of the head can be made by using
paper washers between the outside blades and chippers.
Dado head operations are much
the same as those with a standard
blade _ but the dado head takes
a bigger bite, so that workpiece
should be held more firmly. It is
good practice to use a hold-down
jig like the one illustrated.
When a groove wider than the _-
dado head is needed, make two
or more passes. Best method is
to use a notched stop block to po-
sition each successive cut. Block
is fastened to edge of table where
it can be used to position work
before starting the cut; but in such a position that it will
not contact work during the cutting operation. Space
cuts so that they overlap a trifle.
